Q

Organ systems consist of different organs that work together closely

A

Organ system level

18
Q

Smallest structural and functional unit of life.

A

Cell

19
Q

– The cell is the smallest unit of life
– All organisms are made of one or more cells
– Cells arise only from other cells

A

Cell theory

20
Q

– Over 250 different types of human cells
– Types differ in size, shape, and subcellular components; these differences lead to differences in functions

A

Cell diversity

21
Q

the cellular material that is located between the plasma membrane and the nucleus

A

Cytoplasm

22
Q

Cytoplasm is composed of

A

Cytosol, inclusions, organelles

23
Q

gel-like solution made up of water and soluble molecules such as proteins, salts, sugars, etc.

A

Cytosol

24
Q

insoluble molecules; vary with cell type (examples: glycogen granules, pigments, lipid droplets, vacuoles, crystals)

A

Inclusions

25
Q

metabolic machinery structures of cell; each with specialized function; either membranous or nonmembranous

A

Organelles

26
Q

– Mitochondria
– Endoplasmic reticulum
– Golgi apparatus
– Peroxisomes
– Lysosomes

A

Membranous organelles

27
Q

– Ribosomes
– Cytoskeleton
– Centrioles

A

Nonmembranous organelles

28
Q

Membranous network of tubular or saclike channels in the cytoplasm of a cell.

A

Endoplasmic reticulum (ER)

29
Q

Cytoplasmic organelles at which proteins are synthesized.

A

Ribosomes

30
Q

What are ribosomes made up of?

A

Proton and ribosomal RNA (rRNA)

31
Q

free floating; site of synthesis of soluble proteins that
function in cytosol or other organelles

A

Free ribosomes

32
Q

attached to membrane of endoplasmic reticulum (ER); site of synthesis of proteins to be incorporated into membranes or lysosomes, or exported from cell

A

Membrane-bound ribosomes

33
Q

Cytoplasmic organelles responsible for ATP generation for cellular activities. ( powerhouse of the cell)

A

Mitochondria

34
Q

Membranous system close to the cell nucleus that packages protein secretions for export, packages enzymes into lysosomes for cellular use, and modifies proteins destined to become part of cellular membranes

A

Golgi apparatus

35
Q

Organelles that originate from the Golgi apparatus and contain strong digestive enzymes.

A

Lysosomes

36
Q

One of three types of cytoskeletal elements; thin strands of the protein actin

A

Microfilaments

37
Q

Tough, insoluble protein fibres constructed like woven ropes composed of tetramer fibrils

A

Intermediate filaments

38
Q

One of three types of cytoskeletal elements; hollow tubes made of the spherical protein tubulin.

A

Microtubules

39
Q

Minute body found in pairs near the nucleus of the cell; active in cell division.

A

Centriole

40
Q

Tiny, hairlike projections of a cell; may move in a wave- like manner to propel substances across the exposed cell surface.

A

Cilia

41
Q

Tiny projections on the free surfaces of some epithelial cells; increase surface area for absorption

A

Microvilli
